Glad that this stamp finally arrived. Thought for a moment that it would never make it to my address as the seller did not reply me when I asked for the tracking number.

A few tone spots on the back, but good color and 4 extra nice margins, nice stamp!

Some of the brown spots seen at the back are from the cancellation ink that soaked through.

Lovely colour pennyblackie, it almost looks like jasperware!

A welcome addition to your collection I'm sure

Bobby, just love these embossed stamps. No elaborate colour or design, but each one of these stamps has to be done by hand.. Eagerly waiting for my 10 pence specimen one to arrive.

If you enjoy the embossed stamps, you might take a look at Postal Stationery. Registered envelopes from Great Britain and the Colonies are really well done and have the same interesting look as the embossed stamps. They are pretty scarce, but not all that popular so you can find them on ebay for from $5 to $25 pretty easily.

The image is from my sales site, but I am just posting it to show an example of a registered envelope. It is not linked back to my site.

The embossed postal stationery are nice and neat, not sure why they have not caught up with collectors. The ones with nice cancellations with stamps used one them are particularly appealing.
